Nissan Motor Co has announced the first ‘Intelligent Parking Chair’, a concept inspired by its intelligent park assist technology that allows drivers to easily park their vehicles using automatic steering.

The Intelligent Parking Chair is a unique chair that automatically moves to a set position. The chair includes a roller to automatically move 360 degrees paired with a system that indicates the target position. Four cameras placed on the room's ceiling generate a bird's-eye view to wirelessly transmit the chair's position and its route to destination.

With this innovation in office technology, Nissan says “Japanese businessmen are now freed from the troublesome task of arranging chairs, using this new technology already adopted in the European model X-Trail Hybrid and other Nissan vehicles around the world.”
